I marked this part of Outside Lies Magic a while ago:

"[...] trolley companies erected mazes of supply support, and pull-off wires, the whole arrangement that made up what everyone knew as overhead electric catenary and threw weblike shadows over dirt roads and brick streets." (Stilgoe, p.27)

It reminded me of a sketch I did in Milan.

The trolley lines, in big intersections, were the silk threads of giant spiders. (sketch.)

But the silk was unsilky and the spiders were always in hiding. (reality).
